Vision

Lee Chesneau's Marine Weather's vision is to provide every capable seagoing mariner with the knowledge, tools and culture required to embody self-reliance and independent decision-making in weather forecasting, route planning and heavy weather avoidance.
The goal of this vision is to be able to properly interpret, evaluate, and strategize public domain marine analyses and forecast charts through education and training.
